I read this article which explains, in theory, why we have room for dessert even if we're otherwise stuffed:
"The sugar in sweet foods stimulates a reflex that expands your stomach"
Well THAT sounds like a bad idea. Didn't many of us have surgery to make our stomachs LESS expanded?
Read the article if you have a few minutes.

Thanks for this. It's nice to know there is science behind the craziness!
Oh hell no. I knew there was a reason I stopped ordering desserts!
So, what I get out of this is that if I'm going to eat something sweet I should make sure that it has a lot of fat, too! LOL ;)
Interesting!! Thanks for sharing.
I think I am going to have to stop the desserts all together :p
Happy holidays!!! I hope you have a great weekend!
Cheers!
